So I just checked my pdga rating for the first time in a while. My rating was actually higher then I expected since I only played two tourneys this year (sucked at both). Current rating is 954. I had one horrible round at turkey that was an 856 and it says that round is not included. Do you know why this would be?

I think it's a statistial calculation. I've seen guys with lots of rated rounds have more than one round thrown out. If you have a good sample size, rounds that fall too far outside (below) your bell curve get tossed. Good thing they don't toss ones from the other side.

Correct -- the "one lowest round" is a bit of mis-information.

All rated rounds you have played and have been reported to the PDGA within 12 months of your most recently rated round will be included in the calculation. However, if any one of those ratings is either more than 100 points below your average rating or more than 2.5 standard deviations below your rating – whichever number is smaller – that round will not be included.
